Jan Miel
1599 - 03.04.1663
Flanders, Spanish Netherlands
Jan Miel was a Flemish painter and printmaker who worked in Italy.
As a young man Miel worked in the Bamboschade genre: his paintings depict dancing villagers, gamblers and charlatans, barbers and shoemakers, traveling musicians and actors.
Miele diversified the genre painting of the time with carnival scenes. Miele also executed several frescoes in Roman churches, decorated the Quirinale Palace, and was court painter to the Duke of Savoy. Later he moved away from genre painting and painted historical subjects in the classical style.
Miele's works are kept in many museums in Europe and the United States, several of them in the Hermitage.
